When your deployment artefact is a Docker image, you should system test against a container based on that image. In this blog post, I will demonstrate how to get test coverage for a JVM app in that scenario.

Deploying a Docker container on Azure ‘Web App for Containers’ can be done fairly easy. In this blog post, I will provide a step by step guide to get you started. Some basic knowledge of Azure and Docker definitely helps. But why should you care in the first place? You will get:

In this post we will describe what is needed to get started with managing your EAP 6 logs with ElasticSearch, Logstash and Kibana. There are several reasons why you would want to collect your logging output in a central place.

Aggregate (output from multiple applications / hosts)

Correlate events in different systems

Analyze (more than grep)

Backup

Integrate into monitoring

Gather statistics

A common solution that supports all this use cases is provided by the ELK stack. It consists of ElasticSearch (ES), Logstash and Kibana. ElasticSearch provides persistence and analytics, Logstash provides the pipeline that brings your Logs into ES and Kibana provides a GUI for querying and dashboards.
